Atlantis

Interesting, and coincidentally pertinent

"but at a later time there occurred portentous earthquakes and floods, and one grievous day and night befell them, when the whole body of your warriors was swallowed up by the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner was swallowed up by the sea and vanished; wherefore also the ocean at that spot has now become impassable and unsearchable, being blocked up by the shoal mud which the island created as it settled down." The Timaeus, Plato.

Mud flats in Spain?

Stats guys had predicted the tsunami with much confidence. Guess not all statistica is da puta.

Yet another prediction. Chances of this happening?

In the meantime, Dr McCue dismissed suggestions that melting glaciers due to global warming could escalate the earthquake risk. Mais non, mais non, says Pepe. It's all so obvious.
